Fished from 8am to midday. Weather warm but overcast and humid. No fish seen rising. Fished a variety of nymphs. Caught two 12" Grayling from the deeper pools, and one WBT 9". Thanks WUF. Chris

As a novice to fly angling I had a nice afternoon paddling around this beautiful stretch of river, sadly no fish caught. The river was running beautifully with only the slightest tinge of colour, weather was sunny intervals but with a strong cold wind. I did see a couple of fish and one rise on my walk down to the start of the beat.
There was a very heavy shower of cold rain just before I arrived, not sure if it was this or my poor fishing that caused the blank.
First booking with the WUF and despite no fish thoroughly enjoyed it.

I took advantage of the sunshine and lower than recent river level to wet a line. Started at 4:30 pm and left at 6pm, having fished a few pools from the weir back to the bridge. Caught a nice brown mid way along on a gold head nymph fished duo. No other takes and no fish seen rising. Still a very pleasant hour or so which was better than not being there!

The temperature was low and there was drizzle in the air with the promise of heavier rain to come but we'd booked the day off work and were determined to fish regardless. No fish were seen or hooked in a steadily colouring river although there were some nice looking spots along this beat - one to visit later in the season I think.

Cold, cloudy windy day. River clear and still up a little. Fished a variety of nymphs. One 14" Grayling caught.
Thanks WUF for a nice day

Cold day, river clearing but still strong flow, weighted nymphs probably not getting down into the depths.

I spent a couple of hours trotting for grayling in the morning before the wind got too strong. Briefly hooked two fish which were probably trout. River average height and clear.

A pleasant afternoon spent trotting for Grayling on this lovely beat. Unfortunately drew a complete blank. The river level had dropped around a foot in the previous couple of days but is still high and coloured with a lot of debris - fallen trees are a problem in some parts of the beat. Spotted a heron down near the weir also a kingfisher and had a visit from a large dog fox at a range of about 10 yards as I was intent on unravelling a snag. A nice end to the year despite the lack of fish!

This beat was fished by two members of the Grayling Society on this occasion.

River clear and low with some leaf litter. A few fish rising and caught 2 small grayling on klink beneath bridge. Sadly, saw a wary cormorant. Haven't seen as many this year.
Changed to klink and dink (flavoured nymph) and landed a whopper os brown trout 18" pushing 3lbs from a deeper pool further down the beat. Lovely dark colours and good condition. A great surprise to land such a large fish on this small river - tested my light gear to the full. All fish safely returned - took a mobile picture to show to my friends at Leominster Choral!!
Lovely spot with thoughtful parking - wonderful autumn colours with the hills as a backdrop - thanks to the owners and W&U.
